Shields Academy - A message from Jen - November 2024


Welcome to November!


We are stepping away from the buzz energy of Summer and maybe, starting to feel like going a little slower... but things are still moving fast eh?!! Especially the entertainment industry we are learning about... it's a fast paced and busy.


What I feel is important for me when I started Shields is that we can somehow find a new way to naviagte this. You will often hear me coming to you with fast deadlines and emails that may need a quick response... this will always be the way. But... how can we respond to this? Could we maybe approach this in a mature, respetful and healthy way... what would that look like for you?


Maybe it's saying no to something that you feel may be too much of a strain on your time. And that is perfect. Maybe your challenge is the confidence to communicate this? Communication is SUPER important.

Speak to me. Tell me if you are away... and I will celebrate that for you!! Who doesn't love a holiday!! The healthy balance... communicate this. Tell me if you are feeling overwhelmed and we will do what we can to support you and encourage you to re-discover your joy in the arts!

Come to class... I mean it. Come to class and be with all of us. Not because you NEED to imporve (we are all growing and imporving of course)... but because we can be together and create! Have fun! We are a professional training course and we are prepairing you for the realities of the industry, but we are all here because we LOVE what we do. With that love is a healthy respect for me as your mentor, your fellow students and the art. If you are looking for a local drama class... we are not it. We are so much more. And lets celebrate that!


We are Shields and we are waving the flag in the North East and beyond.

So let's show up... be our real selves... and enjoy this amazing community and opportunities that have been created here.


So, the classes this month are below. I will be teaching you on Friday (yey!!). I would love to see EVERYONE there. I see you!... and we have a special guest coming to watch the session too.


I would like you to bring something with you that you feel passionate about. This could be a monolgue. It could be a scene that you'd like to do with a friend. It could even be a song... those of you who I work with on your singing privately, this could be your opportunity to step out of your comfort zone!


I really look forward to seeing you all on Friday and Libby will be continuing to work her magic in the session at The Customs House.

Please note the different times this month as we are doing a special JOINT session of acting and filming together.


Don't forget to book in for your One to One which is now INCLUDED... take advantage of this incredicle opportunity. I know nowhere where you receive this kind of team and options.


As always, much love and have a fabulous month ahead...

What can you be this month to step into your dreams and desires... make one choice today that your future self will thank you for : )


Peace out!!

Jen
